Details
The Concern After posting an earlier video recommending a Chinese herbal cream, viewer comments raised the issue that some manufacturers in China have been known to secretly add corticosteroids to topical creams. This would explain unusually strong effectiveness but would pose significant health risks with prolonged use.
Independent Testing Rather than simply removing the recommendation, Dr. Berg:
- Pulled the original video
- Purchased the cream independently
- Sent it to a laboratory for testing
- Screened for five different corticosteroids
- All results came back: none detected
Why the Herbal Ingredients May Work The herbal components of the cream appear to have legitimate anti-inflammatory properties on their own, which likely accounts for the effectiveness reported by users. No specific herbs are named in this segment, but the formulation targets skin inflammation associated with psoriasis and related conditions.
